Ciara Updates Fans On Her Weight Loss Goals

April 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ciara has a particular goal in mind after giving birth to her fourth child: losing some weight, specifically a mission to drop 70 pounds. Of course, this isn’t necessary for her beauty or image, nor should weight be the standard of acceptance or self-worth for anyone, but if you have a goal in mind that you want to achieve for your own satisfaction and personal fulfillment, then who’s to stop you from chasing it? Moreover, the singer gave us an Instagram photo dump on Thursday (April 25), in which she included a snap of a scale that seemed to indicate her weight: 181.4 pounds. Furthermore, this falls in line with a previous post in which she wanted to hold herself to this standard and outlined this goal with her followers.

“Trying to lose 70lbs post baby, prepare for a show and tour while breastfeeding, and running my businesses…” Ciara captioned a post from about two weeks ago. “Shout out to all my mammas out there gettin in, I see you! ToughSh$t. #MambaMentality.” However, we don’t know if this 180-pound weight reflects her weight when she posted this, when she posted the photo dump, or both. As such, maybe the Texas native is farther along on this journey than we know. Either way, the family is undergoing a lot of exciting changes right now, so we’re sure she’s got her head up in any case.

Elsewhere, another superstar recently reflected on a brief, since-resolved, but nonetheless spicy beef that she had with Ciara all the way back in 2011. “Do you miss being on the Internet, like, really on the Internet?” Interview Magazine editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg asked Rihanna, for whom Ottenberg used to be a stylist. “Like, ‘Good luck booking that stage you speak of’ Internet? Because you were so good at it,” Ottenberg remarked, referencing the small spat between the musicians in which the Goodies star claimed she ignored her backstage at an event. “The troll in me, she had a time,” RiRi responded. “Unfortunately, you can’t take anything back from the Internet, so I will always have the reminders, but the best troll in me is the silent troll.”

Jeezy Denies Jeannie Mai’s Allegations That He Physically Assaulted Her

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jeezy has reportedly responded to domestic violence and child neglect accusations against him from Jeannie Mai, his former partner who he currently faces in court due to their ongoing divorce process. Moreover, according to court documents, Mai pointed to three alleged incidents in particular in which he physically assaulted her and claimed that he drinks too much alcohol and has explosive outbursts, among other concerns. As for the alleged child neglect, she also claimed that she supposedly found an AK-47 rifle in a Louis Vuitton bag that she found with their then-one-year-old child. Now, according to The Jasmine Brand, the rapper has vehemently denied these accusations.

Furthermore, Jeannie Mai had provided pictures of the alleged injuries that she supposedly sustained as a result of Jeezy’s as-of-yet unsubstantiated abusive actions. One of the specific incidents referred to was him allegedly pushing her down a flight of stairs, but he reportedly responded to the court that this specific event never happened and is a complete fabrication. According to court documents, the Atlanta MC is claiming that the injuries that Mai provided alleged photos of in the lawsuit are actually from a golf course incident. Not only that, but he apparently provided photographic and text message evidence of the timeline of the accident, as well as providing an alleged picture of his own injuries as a result of the accident.

As for what these alleged texts and photos mean for Jeezy, it aims to counter Jeannie Mai’s claim that his alleged abuse of her reportedly occurred in April, referring to the specific and alleged stairs incident. These new supposed texts and pictures are from June, which would mean the injuries happened months afterwards if this is actually to be believed. Overall, the only confirmed thing about all of this is that it made the divorce between them all the nastier. There are a lot of unconfirmed and speculative allegations flying around, including how they’ve allegedly limited each other’s time with their child.

Meanwhile, both parties, especially the trap pioneer, have done their part to request privacy amid this contentious back-and-forth. With these new allegations in mind, we can only expect things to get muddier and more combative in the near future. But hopefully we are wrong on that. For more news and the latest updates on Jeezy and Jeannie Mai, stay posted on HNHH.

Ray J Sparks Concern Among Doctors & Friends With Bizarre Face Tattoos

April 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ray J is once again making headlines for some wild stuff, although this might be a little more tame in many’s eyes. In fact, he’s been on an upward trajectory as of late, with the biggest story about him recently being some dating rumors with Sukihana that really ignited over this past weekend. However, the Mississippi entertainer is drawing a lot of concerned, amused, or perturbed reactions online due to his new collection of face tattoos. They include the names of his children, Melody and Epik, plus the logo of his Tronix TV network, as he showed off on Instagram Live on Monday (April 22).

“Everybody tripping,” Ray J remarked, indicating that his friends and even medial experts are pretty worried about this decision and apparently his mental health. “I had a few doctors call me and DM me. Thank you, I appreciate the love because if you worried about me, then please let me know. If I’m falling by the wayside, If I’m going left, help me go right. I’ma listen. Straight up.“ Then, he relayed plans to make them even larger on his face despite concerns, and claimed that they were unfinished at the moment.

“I’m about to go finish them right now, and I’ma really go big today,” Ray J planned out, which probably didn’t help with folks already expressing concern. “When I’m done with them, then I think everybody might f**k with them. But if they don’t, you ain’t got to look at me.” Furthermore, in a separate clip, he explained that, while he thinks the tats make him “look real unattractive,” it was his intention to make it so that he probably wouldn’t appear in more movies or TV shows, thus allowing him to focus on more executive and behind-the-scenes entrepreneurship.

“It’s all in for me now,” the 43-year-old posited. “I did this on purpose.” Nevertheless, what do you think about these face tattoos? Is Princess Love’s ex making the right boss move here to avoid TV and movie deals or was there a simpler way to do this? Drop your thoughts on all this in the comments section below. In addition, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Ray J.

Kid Cudi Updates Fans After Breaking His Foot At Coachella: Watch

April 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kid Cudi had a great time at Coachella this Sunday (April 21)… for a little bit, at least. Unfortunately, his set was cut short after he fell while performing and broke something in his heel, which a lot of fans were obviously very concerned with. Moreover, some expressed disappointment in the Cleveland creative for not sticking around or for falling in the first place, but the general sentiment is that these things can happen to anyone. Thus, folks sent him their best wishes, and his die-hards waited patiently for an update. The 40-year-old then took to social media with an update for fans with the caption “Hello there.”

“Hey, guys… Yeah, s**t got real yesterday,” Kid Cudi began his message below, indicating that he’s in good spirits and still recovering. “This is what happens when a 40-year-old man tries to prance around off stage like he’s 26. Like he used to do back in the day. I learned a valuable lesson: No more prancing around, jumping off stages.” We’re sure that he will reflect a lot on this time of his life in his upcoming memoir.

Then, Kid Cudi expressed hope that he will fully recover by the time his INSANO tour kicks off in late June of this year. “I don’t want to let you guys down,” he shared “That’s what we’re aiming for. Not canceling anything just yet. Just gonna wait and see how things go, but I’m okay. A little sore. Yesterday, a lot of pain, but I’m doing better now. I have a little temporary cast on now, and I gotta go get a real cast in a little bit. Apparently, I broke something in my heel.

“This is a major setback, but don’t worry. I’ma bounce back,” Mr. Rager continued. “I love y’all. All day. Engage the rage. But not at 40.” At least he has his engagement to look forward to as well! For more news and the latest updates on Kid Cudi, stay posted on HNHH.

Beyonce Clears Up Misconceptions About Her Natural Hair & Shows It Off

April 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Beyonce’s hair care brand Cécred has gotten some flack online for her use of extensions and for allegedly ripping off a package design. Still, in the face of all that, she still stands by the idea that people who wear wigs or style their hair in an additive way can still have healthy and gorgeous natural hair. Moreover, the Houston superstar recently shared a video in which she shows off her hair and speaks about what processes and routines she likes to indulge in. No matter where you fall on the Cécred debate, that’s no reason to belittle or over-exaggerate her relationship with her locks.

“The stigma and misconception is that people that wear wigs don’t have long and healthy hair,” Beyoncé expressed in the voice-over of the clip below. “That’s some bulls**t, ’cause it ain’t nobody business. I’ll get back to my hair. I like to blow-dry my hair on medium heat, ’cause I try to stay away from as much heat as possible, and using an old-school pressing comb. I’ve chosen color over perms or relaxers. I’ve been using these products, and my hair has never grown so long, never been so moisturized.

“And I’m very grateful for those who have allowed the products to speak for themselves,” Beyoncé continued concerning Cécred. “We are building the community that I’ve dreamt about. I’m proud of the ingredients, I’m proud of the way that it’s making people feel, I’m proud that it’s not one-dimensional, and that it’s for multiple textures. I’m very, very grateful for all of the support, and I’m very thankful to you guys. And I just ask that you continue to share your experiences with this brand.”

Meanwhile, with an upcoming documentary inspired in part by her new album COWBOY CARTER, it seems like we will be getting a lot more from this era. What are some other questions, praises, or concerns you have for Cécred? However you may feel, drop them in the comments section down below.

Jill Scott Praises Chris Brown, Responds To Fans Pointing Out His Abusive History

April 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Much of Chris Brown’s allegedly abusive history against women is just that: accusations. However, given that he pled guilty to assaulting Rihanna 15 years ago and the testimonies from his former partners and the media, he has always dealt with folks writing him off due to this past. Granted, the Virginia native has always been quite aggressive in responding to these narratives, and it’s overall a very complicated web. Moreover, a lot of this is popping back up in the trending topics because of a recent tweet from multi-hyphenate Jill Scott praising Breezy. She responded to many folks online on Sunday (April 21) who offered their criticisms, support, or other comments about the matter.

“@chrisbrown is amazing,” Jill Scott wrote of Chris Brown on the social media platform. “How does ANYBODY sing like THAT? Dance, look, Act and Rap… like THAT? Beyond gifted. It appears, exceptional people have to go through exceptional [fire emoji]. There’s nothing to debate.” “I think the women he’s abused would disagree,” one user posited. “I doubt it,” Scott replied. “My Mother’s ex husband was a mean, violent human AND he could lay foundation better than anyone in my city. What he did with cement was awe inspiring. We got away. He got a raise and praise for his ability. God dealt with the rest.”

Jill Scott’s Praise Of Chris Brown

“I love you Jill but he has so many domestic abuses cases it’s ridiculous we can’t look past that,” another fan replied. “I love you too,” Jill Scott responded. “I’m not here to fight anymore else’s battles. If/since women hear the stories, they should avoid that street. Running backwards in moving traffic makes zero sense. Therapy for every damn body.” “Yes he is, but that diss track [against Quavo] was too personal. He went too low,” one fan brought up, changing the topic real quick. “I agree,” she wrote in response.

Ne-Yo Opens Up About His Two Girlfriends & Polyamory

April 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ne-Yo sparked a lot of conversation up and down the gossip train when he let the world know that he’s in a polyamorous relationship with two girlfriends. Overall, the sentiment seems to be that, while you may agree or disagree with whether or not you’d be in one, they still have every right to develop whatever bond they please as long as it’s respectful, has boundaries, and equitable. On that note, TMZ recently spoke to the R&B singer on Thursday (April 18) at The Grove in Los Angeles, where they ran into him taking a walk with his two female parters holding his hands. They all spoke a little bit about this polyamorous relationship and what his thoughts on polygamy are, which is marriage to multiple spouses at the same time.

Furthermore, Ne-Yo expressed his support for the legal union of multiple partners, but since he doesn’t know if he wants to do so, he won’t advocate for laws to change and reflect this just yet. Still, this seemed to be a factor in his split with Crystal Renay, something that allegedly happened because of his infidelity. Those are just unconfirmed rumors at press time, but clearly something happened along the way that made them go their separate ways. Considering this history, we’ll have to see how this polyamorous relationship works out in the long run.

However, we know that Ne-Yo has at least some public support for this bond if he’s ever feeling unseen or ostracized by pop culture. One of these supporters is The Game, who had some lewd but cheeky comments about it on Instagram under a post covering this relationship. “They both look like they say ‘spit in my mouth,’” the rapper shared in the comments section of said post. “I’m here for it [crying face emoji].”

Meanwhile, what do you think about this relationship? What about recent rumors that Renay is already moving onto another man, and how her ex might respond? Whatever the case, drop your thoughts down in the comments section below. Also, for more news and the latest updates on Ne-Yo, check back in with HNHH.

Kyle Marisa Roth Spoke Cryptically About Jennifer Lopez Before Dying: Video

April 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

No matter how much Jennifer Lopez tries to stay out of drama, the fashionista seems to constantly be taking the blame for other people’s struggles. Most recently, the death of a TikToker, Kyle Marisa Roth, is being pinned on the New York native, and the story is interesting albeit sad. As Distractify reports, the content creator lost her life on April 15th after a battle with colon cancer. The official cause of death hasn’t yet come out, though social media is abuzz with allegations pointing fingers at Lopez.

On her TikTok page, Roth shared celebrity gossip content, sometimes posting about “Jenny from the Block.” According to past videos, JLo’s negative reaction to this had a direct impact on her income, particularly after Roth’s account was banned after she used footage from the multi-talent’s film about growing up in the Bronx, The Greatest Love Story Never Told. The late entertainer said that Lopez’s “narcissism single-handedly crushed her small business,” leaving her unable to download or save content that had amassed her billions of views. “JLo has cost me more than four figures of income just for March 2024,” Roth alleged after making a new account.

Losing out on money is hard for anyone, but with Roth’s health condition, it was incredibly detrimental. “If I die of colon cancer, it’s on her,” the blonde creative said online just a week before she passed away. Since Kyle’s death, her mom has shared a statement urging people to be more kind to others. “My message as her mother is TikTok, the toxicity, the mean-spiritedness of what Kyle has faced, what so many people have faced and try to deal with because of that toxic space. I just want people to live their lives with the brightness of Kyle and her beautiful soul and spirit.”

When Jennifer Lopez reconnected with her ex, Ben Affleck, the Hustlers actress likely didn’t expect another former lover, Sean “Diddy” Combs to also resurface in her life. While not in a romantic capacity, JLo’s past with the Bad Boy mogul is in the news once again as the FBI is reportedly considering looking into the infamous 1999 Shyne nightclub shooting. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Kim Kardashian Bikini Photos Have Us Pondering Why She’s Diving In Shallow Water

April 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If we’re being honest, there’s nothing revolutionary about a new bikini photo from Kim Kardashian – the socialite did become famous from her sex tape with Ray J, after all. Still, she’s consistently posted her toned swimsuit body over the years and continues to look picture-perfect even into her 40s thanks to her tireless hours spent in the gym. On Wednesday (April 17), Kardashian’s Instagram followers got to swipe through a new photo dump captured on her Turks and Caicos vacation. The post is raising eyebrows, but likely not for reasons you might expect.

Rather than flaunting her bodacious bod on land in a tiny two-piece, the black-haired beauty was enjoying herself in the water, wearing black thong-cut bottoms and a white tank, tied to show her slim waist. In the second photo, Kardashian stands in water that’s only up to her knees but poses as if she’s diving into the shallow pool in front of her. Other images show the reality starlet fully submerged into the blue waves and ringing out her hair. Of course, trolls in the comments can only focus on one thing.

Kim Kardashian’s Body Card Never Declines

A post shared by Kim Kardashian (@kimkardashian)

“Why is she diving in knee-deep water?” one person asked, earning thousands of likes. “Diving into less than 2 feet of water? Mother ,” another quipped. Elsewhere, others cracked jokes about the episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, when Kim lost her diamond earring in the ocean and had a meltdown until it was luckily recovered by her little sister, Kylie Jenner.

Perhaps Kim Kardashian’s latest photo dump was a hint that she’s ready to “dive” back into the dating world. After a brief rumoured fling with NFL star Odell Beckham Jr., the mother of four is reportedly single again. Since divorcing Kanye West she also spent seven months romancing Pete Davidson but has yet to find a serious partner worth pursuing in the long-term.

DDG’s Diamond Tooth Cost $250K, New Dad Blames Boredom For Flashy Purchase

April 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

When raising a child in 2024, too many parents find themselves living paycheck to paycheck, having to make major sacrifices in their lives to provide for their children. Such clearly isn’t the case for DDG and Halle Bailey, who’ve been able to spoil their son, Halo, with gifts and experiences people far older than him can only dream of. At the same time, they’re still able to support themselves, with The Little Mermaid actress always keeping her wardrobe and hair on point while DDG enjoys spending his money on jewelry.

Rather than adding to his collection of chains, on Tuesday (April 16), the Michigan-born multi-talent revealed he spent six figures on a new piece for his mouth. “Got bored so I spent a quarter million on a tooth,” DDG wrote on Twitter/X when showing off selfies of his flashy new cap. “Should’ve bought a house or sumn ,” he reflected, suggesting that perhaps the purchase was a waste of money.

DDG Treats Himself to Some Diamonds

Elsewhere on social media, the “Elon Musk” artist is making news for his clever clapback at those criticizing his parenting. “Ni**as watched ‘The Proud Family’ for 10 seasons without seeing Wizard Kelly’s face, but trippin’ ’bout me not showing my son’s face, smh,” DDG reflected. “Now why would I wanna show yo fat face a** my baby?” he asked one hater. “[You] irregular head shaped a** ni**a, mind yo [business] and take that hot ass suede suit off .”

DDG’s obvious presence in his son’s life has reminded some critics of what Halle Bailey sees in the YouTuber after the previous ups and downs we’ve seen their relationship endure. However, lately, rumours of a breakup have been flying around Halo’s parents after Bailey was spotted at Coachella alone. Elsewhere, they seem to have unfollowed one another on Instagram, only furthering the gossip. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
